Episode 23: Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? NO, It's Frikin Perimenopause.
from Playing The Fool · host Jarna Saunders
In this episode, I’m sitting down with you after a couple of big emotional weeks to talk all things Perimenopause.Because honestly? This past year has been a wild ride. The symptoms, heartiest heart palpitations, the “is this normal or am I actually losing it?” the Googling, the confusion… and finally, the validation that came when I heard other women share what they’ve been navigating too. There is nothing quite like the relief of realising -I’m not crazy. I’m not making it up. And I’m definitely not alone and I am definitely in Perimenopause.At 44, I’m embracing the chaos, the hormones, the itchy ears, the “ham sandwich” the intrusive thoughts (which I generously share on this podcast so you don’t feel alone in yours), and the truth about how it actually effects your life. Thank-god the whole of Instagram is also going through it as well and for my girlfriend’s sending me “real after reel” making me feel less alone.If you’re walking through perimenopause too - come find me on Instagram. Message me. Let’s talk about it, laugh about it, and support each other through this completely unglamorous yet strangely empowering chapter of our 40’s.And if this episode resonates with you, I’d really love to hear from you.Don’t forget to join the waitlist for The Heart Is the Bar, my signature programme launching in early 2026.
